Twix Hazelnut Fingers (Tesco) By @Cinabar

I spotted a big box of these new Twix Hazelnut multipacks by the counter in Tesco and, naturally, popped one straight into my basket. The bright green packaging is a change from the usual gold, so it really stands out. I love chocolate and nuts, and flavoured Twix bars are pretty rare in the UK, so this felt like an easy buy.

Once home, I took a closer look at the packaging. These are labelled as hazelnut flavour rather than containing actual nuts, which is fine by me. I could not see hazelnuts listed in the ingredients, and it only mentioned that they may contain traces of nuts, so it does seem to be flavouring rather than the real thing. Definitely worth double checking if that matters to you.

There are nine individual Twix bars in the pack. I opened one and broke it in half for a closer look. Visually, it is just like a regular Twix, but the hazelnut aroma is immediately noticeable and quite strong. On tasting, the nutty flavour is still prominent, though a bit more balanced with the chocolate. I enjoyed it, as I am a fan of chocolate and nut combinations, but it is not subtle and the caramel gets a bit lost.

Overall, these are still a solid twist on the original. I can see these individual Twix Hazelnut bars ending up in my lunch box as an easy chocolate fix when I need a quick sugary boost during the working day.
